Prince William is set for a very exciting day as he will take part in the Out-Sourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup 2025 later on today (Friday, July 11). The annual event is always a high point in the royal diary and is one that fans look forward to.
The match will raise important funds for charity, with the total amount raised expected to be more than £14,000,000. While she has attended in the past, it is not yet known whether the Princess of Wales will also attend Guards Polo Club to watch her husband from the sidelines.
The match comes after the Prince was forced to cut off one of his charity donors after she allegedly tried to sell access to him for £20,000.
The annual match supports a number of charities every year, which are close to the Prince and Princess of Wales’ hearts. The money raised will then be split between the ten chosen organisations to help them carry out the work they do on a daily basis.
Kensington Palace has confirmed that the charities chosen by the couple, who will receive the money, includes Child Bereavement UK, Royal African Society, Fields in Trust, We Are Farming Minds, Anna Freud Centre, Family Action and Forward Trust.
East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices, NHS Charities Together, and British Red Cross will also benefit from the money raised.
The game comes after Prince William was forced to cut off one of his charity donors after she allegedly tried to sell access to him for £20,000. Minerva Mondejar Steiner, a Filipina-Swiss millionaire, owns an art gallery which was an official sponsor of the polo event, before it was discovered she had allegedly offered people private meetings with the prince for cash – something William was reportedly unaware of.
In a “strictly private” email seen by The Times, Mondejar Steiner, who had been invited to the match, allegedly invited wealthy individuals belonging to a luxury concierge service to the polo match, where she said in exchange for donations to her own philanthropic foundation, they could attend the event or join her in meeting William.
The email read: “As a patron of the Mondejar Foundation, you are invited to support their philanthropic work through a charitable donation, in return for which you will be welcomed to this prestigious occasion. Patron contributions: £6,000 — admission for one patron. £20,000 — includes full access plus a private audience with Prince William and Princess Catherine.”
